MONTREAL – Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach are available to play for Montreal in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final.
The forwards skipped Wednesday’s morning skate for undisclosed reasons, but head coach Martin St. Louis said both are in the mix with the Canadiens trailing the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Newhook scored series-clinching goals in Game 7 of the first two rounds against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres, with the latter coming in overtime.
The 25-year-old from St. John’s, N.L., has put up seven goals and three assists in 17 playoff games this spring, skating the majority of the time alongside Jake Evans and Ivan Demidov. Dach, also 25, has four goals and an assist in 17 contests on the fourth line.
The Hurricanes have picked up consecutive 3-2 OT decisions after the Canadiens’ opened with a 6-2 victory.
The series shifts to Raleigh, N.C., for Game 5 on Saturday. Game 6, if necessary, would be back at the Bell Centre on Sunday.
